The Story Behind Annihilation: Eclipse
A solar eclipse marks the second phase of the coordinated attack on humankind.
Almost all animal life has succumbed to starvation, and all plant life has expired.
During the eclipse, an unrecognised species of vine begins growing from the decaying corpses of animals. The insect life that had survived starvation begins to amass on these vines for nourishment.
At the same time, some seemingly targeted humans are attacked by a brutal and forceful alien creature; it is currently unknown why these creatures are attacking some humans but not others.
*A production issue with the deck seals means that they display "1 / deck no." as opposed to "deck no. / total number of decks".
